Join the director of Wendy and Peter Pan, Thomas Morgan Jones, as he teaches us how to fight pirates with Molly Atkinson, director of Hedda Gabler!
Jones’s excitement is palpable as he discusses his passion for creating theatre for young people. "Children are the audiences of the future, but they are also [the] audiences of now, and they deserve art and culture," believes Jones.
